King’s Kingdom

Quarrying is a suitable job for these immigrants. They do not need to work in the mines without being skilled. Like most of the quarries, the mines of the Lanyin Kingdom are also open-pit. Use tools to chisel stones on the ground.

Although these immigrants are weaker, quarrying is not entirely physical labor. If they can't hold on, they can take a rest. Theodosius just didn't want to let them do any labor and spent the whole winter like this.

Their food and lodging has been arranged, and their work content has been settled. In the city government of New Lanyin City, the central officials have also checked the land information, looking for land that can be allocated to these immigrants.

The destination of these immigrants has been determined long before their arrival. They will be sent to the northern part of the Lanyin Kingdom to integrate into that land.

They are not kept in the south because the residents of the twelve southern counties have not been incorporated into the Lanyin Kingdom for a long time. The social atmosphere in which they are martial and good at fighting, and everyone is a public person, is not afraid of power, attaches importance to obligations, and knows how to protect their rights and interests is not as good as for example. strong.

Sending them to the North Seven Counties will allow these immigrants to learn the way of life of the residents of the Rhine Kingdom at a faster speed. After they have enough food, they will naturally learn to think actively.

Under the influence of the residents of Beiqi County, they will understand what kind of obligations they should perform. They will be loyal to the king, protect their family and the country, and not be afraid of death on the battlefield. If they can't do this, the social environment there will also be affected. Force them to adapt to these.

Of course, in addition to these reasons, Theodosius also wanted to ease the dilemma of the sparse population in the North Seven Counties.

The area of ​​the seven northern counties is not much different from that of the southern 12 counties, but the population is nearly ten times smaller. Moreover, the so-called southern 12 counties, placed in the Northern Empire, are also sparsely populated and sparsely populated in the bitter cold of the north. Density is also not high.

But even so, the population of the seven northern counties is still only about one-eighth of the southern 12 counties, even if the population density of Theodosius' previous life in Siberia is not so low.

Just like the stable frontiers of certain areas in Theodosius' previous life, the root cause is that a mighty immigration movement was carried out more than a hundred years ago, which changed the local population structure, which turned that area into a One of the most stable areas.

As long as there is an absolute advantage in the number of loyal subjects in a region, that land will never be invaded by other forces at will.

The land allocated to the immigrants is tentatively set at 50 mu. The reason why their land amount is different from that of the residents of the twelve southern counties is that most of them are lonely and widowed, and they are already immigrants with children or wives. It is a big family in China, and it is the status quo of the vast majority of people who come here alone to make a living.

It would be the biggest injustice if all of them were given 100 acres of land. In the twelve southern counties, a family of three would have more than 100 acres of land, and a family of five could only be allocated 200 acres. Around, they came here alone, although it was a family, but it was not suitable to divide the land of more than 100 mu.

What's more, they couldn't even cultivate so much land given them! An adult male can be considered a fairly skilled farmer if he can cultivate fifty acres of land.

In addition, there are not only adult men, but also a large number of women and children among immigrants, and they are far less productive than adult men.

Therefore, all those children who had no family were adopted by Theodosius, and they were cultivated to be the cornerstone of the future of the Rhine Kingdom, especially the Orteban royal family.

Among the first batch of immigrants, there were more than 500 children adopted by the royal family. Twelve-year-olds follow personal inclinations to principle future paths.

Some of them will choose to undergo rigorous training and become a good soldier, some will follow into a church or a monastery and become a monk, and some will follow officials or clerks as apprentices and become future officials .

These children adopted by the royal family will grow up with an indelible royal stamp, and they will also be full of nostalgia and gratitude for the royal family on an emotional level. Generally, there is no need to worry about loyalty.

Of course, raising these children is also a big burden. According to the current orphan ratio, there will be at least 4,000 or 5,000 children to be supported by the royal family in the next five years.

Even if most of the materials that supply them are food and meat converted from food, if the amount increases, it will put a little pressure on the resources of the royal family.

However, these costs are very necessary in Theodosius' view. The resources invested in them are almost impossible to be wasted, and even bring huge returns.

In the evening, there was smoke from the cooking in the barracks, and the strong aroma of meat filled the barracks. The soldiers sat on the table or on their beds, enjoying a delicious meal after a day of training.

A team officer walked into the ten-man barracks he was in charge of and shouted, "Everyone pay attention!"

The commander's order was issued, and the soldiers immediately put down the food in their hands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After arranging the queue, they faced their commander.

Usually, these soldiers can laugh with their team leaders, but during training or when the commander gives an order, everyone must be on guard.

"Brother Sila, please come in!" The team officer said to the door, and saw a burly young man with no hair on his head walking in.

"This is your bed, right next to mine. If you need anything, you can go to the military department and explain it!"

The soldiers in the room kept their eyes fixed, and they were not allowed to talk to each other until the team officer gave other orders.

But even so, their ideas are the same.

"Okay, I've said it before, this is our monk in the team, monk Sila!" The team officer introduced to his subordinates.

"Good day, Brother Sila!" the soldiers said together.

"Haha, there is no need to be so restrained, relax, we will train together in the future, and fight **** the battlefield together!" The Sila monks are very young and have no pretense, which left a very good first for the soldiers. an impression.

The soldiers looked at their captain and nodded when they saw him, and then they relaxed, and a few clever soldiers came together to help Brother Silas make the bed.

After the bed was made, the soldiers helped him put the bundled armor parts one by one on the shelf beside the bed. The monk and the soldiers were equipped with the same armor, but the melee weapons were replaced by A two-handed sword.

"Thank you all, you are so enthusiastic, it seems that my military career will be very smooth!" Brother Sila's eyes narrowed with a smile, perhaps because he was a monk of the Church of God of War, he was not interested in these rough The soldiers were very impressed.
